Northwest pilots agree to codeshare with Delta

Northwest Airlines Corp. reached an agreement with its pilots union to let the carrier join with Delta to sell seats on each other's flights.
The agreement provides job protections, the Air Line Pilots Association said in a joint statement with Northwest. Details weren?t immediately available. Northwest already has a marketing accord with Continental Airlines, the third participant in a proposed ticket-sales alliance.

Delta, Northwest and Continental -- the third-, fourth- and fifth-largest U.S. carriers, respectively -- proposed the so-called code-sharing plan in August.

Their plan is still being reviewed by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The joint ticket sales can help increase revenue.
